PICTURE THIS: Katie Baron’s eagerly anticipated book fabulously illustrates the making of a pop icon

The swish of a cape or the glint of a sequin is arguably as important in the making of a pop icon as their music

The swish of a cape or the glint of a sequin is arguably as important in the making of a pop icon as their music. Katie Baron’s eagerly anticipated book, Fashion + Music (published on August 1), fabulously illustrates this age‑old cross-pollination.

With detailed profiles of the creative forces behind the era-defining looks - such as Arianne Phillips, who inspired Madonna’s get-ups (pictured at the Grammy Awards in 1999), and the genius Kansai Yamamoto, who helped David Bowie realise his startling vision - this book is packed with brilliant photographs that will interest both fashion and music‑lovers alike.
